Latest release is v1.2

Cmder is a software package created out of pure frustration over absence of usable console emulator on Windows. It is based on ConEmu with major config overhaul. Monokai color scheme, amazing clink and custom prompt layout.

The main advantage of Cmder is portability. It is designed to be totally self-contained with no external dependencies, that is makes it great for USB Sticks or Dropbox. So you can carry your console, aliases and binaries (like wget, curl and git) with you anywhere.

1. Download the latest release
2. Extract
3. (optional) Place your own executable files into the bin folder to be injected into your PATH.
4. Run cmder

(There will be a version with installer)

So you've experimented with cmder a little and want to give it a shot in a more permanent home;

1. Open a terminal as an Administrator
2. Navigate to the directory you have placed Cmder
3. Execute .\cmder.exe /REGISTER ALL
   If you get a message "Access Denied" ensure you are executing the command in an Administrator prompt.

In a file explorer window right click in or on a directory to see "Cmder Here" in the context menu.

• Ctrl + t : new tab dialog (maybe you want to open cmd as admin?)
• Ctrl + w : close tab
• Ctrl + d : close tab (if pressed on empty command)
• Shift + alt + number : fast new tab: 1 - CMD, 2 - Powershell * - More to come
• Alt + enter: Fullscreen

• Shift + Up : Traverse up in directory structure (lovely feature!)
• End, Home, Ctrl : Traversing text with as usual on Windows
• Ctrl + r : History search
• Shift + mouse : Select and copy text from buffer

(Some shortcuts are not yet documented, thought they exist, please add them here)

You can define simple aliases with command alias name=command.

For example there is one defined for you alias e.=explorer .

All aliases will be saved in /config/aliases file

To start SSH agent simply call agent, which is in the bin folder.

If you want to run SSH agent on startup, uncomment the line in /vendor/init.batso it says @call "%CMDER_ROOT%/bin/agent.cmd".

1. Git Bash
2. Check for clink and git before injecting them (Sort of done)
